[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wasn't it the Blake bots that had an earlier thread closed because people were posting that Blake had a personality disorder?  I guess they are again trying to get the thread shut down by throwing psychiatric labels around.

Stick to the lawsuit, non bots.[/quote]

The vulnerable narcissism is directly related to the lawsuit.

Blake is alleging that Baldoni and Heath engaged in DARVO -- she even had an expert on DARVO deposed. A key element of DARVO is the RVO part -- reverse victim and offender. That's what vulnerable narcissists do. When they are called out for bad behavior, the flip it around and claim that the mere accusation that they have done something wrong makes them a victim.

Baldoni's argument here is that Blake victimized him by accusing him of sexual harassment, and therefore he was justified in hiring TAG and Jed Wallace to go after Blake in order to protect his reputation from her allegations. This is classic DARVO and also evidence of vulnerable narcissism. Notice how this argument totally absolves Justin of any responsibility for his own behavior -- it's not his fault he was calling actresses sexy on set, or pushing for nudity in the birth scene, or whatever. He has no culpability, those are just things that happened and certainly not his fault or something he should apologize for or do anything about (on this movie he was directing and producing). But the minute women are saying "hey this behavior is not okay, please stop" he's a victim of unfair accusations and anything he does in response is justified.[/quote]
